Artist's Comments

I finished this a while ago, but haven't had time to upload due to massive amounts of HW for school! I'm happy witht he way it turned out. Thanks to Balaa and all her helpful fur tutorial links! She's the mastah of furriness ;)

I used many stock photos (mostly very low res so I couldn't see a darn thing!) of lions for ref's to get me started, but most of it was from me own imaginings :)

UPDATE 7/09/07: I finally had time to paint in the last little details as well as fix the contrast an lighting. It looks soooooo much better than the older version! Also, I've included a higher res version for people who wish to print copies (I won't ever sell prints of this pic even though it's an original piece. Disney/Walden Media currently own copyrights on most anything related to Narnia, and I don't want to risk infringement or be accused of stealing. Also, Aslan is CS Lewis's creation, and it wouldn't be right to use his character for my own profit), just make sure that you don't steal (ie - give the me, the artist, credit for the work) or try to make a profit off of the image in any way, or I will hunt you down..... To save a copy of the larger image click on the download button.; a new window containing the larger version of the image should appear on screen. Right click and Save As. The image should be at 300 dpi, so basically you enlarge it to any size you want without losing too much quality. Enjoy :)

I love big cats for their innate beauty and grace that surfaces through their overall power and strength. Aslan by *ChayaA is a great example of this. You look in the eyes of this beautiful lion and you see such a deep expression of understanding and patience. It sounds strange to think a lion has that but there it is, it's portrayed perfectly. Aslan is a testament to how a great artist poors emotions into her work to help us connect with the subject. (Featured by `Aeires)

I was wondering when we were going to see this finished! It turned out beautifully.
I especially like the wisker area of his mouth and his nose. Though his eyes look believable real.
I just like the raw feel of this piece. And good choice of color for the background.

Gorgeous!I really like that you gave him such a fairytale feel, I don't really know how to explain it, but you went beyond just drawing a lion.
